The Master's Degree Programme in Exact Sciences: Materials Chemistry teaches you to understand, discover, create and develop new materials that improve quality of life!

The aim of the M.Sc. program in Materials Engineering is to provide students with expertise and advanced knowledge in their selected field of specialization. M.Sc. students carry out advanced research supervised by an expert faculty member. Students graduating with an M.Sc. degree are qualified for senior R&D positions in industry and can continue towards Ph.D. studies. In particular, M.Sc. studies can be extended to Ph.D. studies in a combined track such that the thesis exam serves also as the Ph.D. candidacy exam.

The Master of Materials & Energy Transition focuses on engineering solutions for the energy transition and the circular economy. You learn to implement these technologies and make an impact as a professional. This master lets you explore the problems in the unsustainable use of materials and energy. You also discover engineering solutions to these problems, such as bioplastics, heat pumps, photovoltaics, data-driven technologies, and more.

Materials chemistry is advancing the design and modification of materials to make significant contributions in the decades to come. From clean energy to clean water, advanced materials provide the building blocks of innovation in a vast range of sectors and applications. As a materials chemist, you may design and develop intelligent products for areas such as health, energy, mobility, and communication, as well as environment and climate management. 

As far back as the Stone Age, materials have played a significant and defining role in human development — central to contemporary prosperity and the keys to future social evolution. MSc in Materials Engineering, therefore, have an essential role to play in developing and refining the materials of today and tomorrow, exploring their limits and taking their potential to the next level.

All technology around us is based on materials. Master in Materials Research has a great opportunity to solve grand societal problems and find discoveries in the fields of energy, food, water, safety, health and well-being, environment, sustainable use of resources and urbanisation. New fascinating materials with unexpected properties, tailored to the needs of our society, can change the way we live our everyday life.

Materials Science and Technology is a master’s program with a focus on developing and commercializing new materials and their applications. Studies of materials science and the basics of entrepreneurship are combined with activities aimed at creating a product and its manufacturing technology.

The Master's degree in "Lightweight Engineering & Composites" is intended for engineers and graduates of mathematics and natural sciences with professional experience, who would like to gain a qualification in the area of composites via the professional development route. The particular focus of the study program is on both carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP, colloquially known as "carbon") and glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP).
